About Watt per square millimetre
The watt per square millimetre (W/mm²) equals exactly 10⁶ W/m². Used in high-power laser material processing - cutting, welding, and additive manufacturing - and electron beam applications. A 1 kW laser focused to 1 mm² achieves 1 W/mm². Numerically equal to MW/m². 1 W/mm² = 10⁶ W/m² = 100 W/cm².
About Watt per square metre
The watt per square metre (W/m²) is the SI coherent unit for heat flux density and irradiance. Solar irradiance at Earth's surface ≈ 1000 W/m²; solar constant ≈ 1361 W/m²; human skin radiative emission ≈ 100 W/m²; global average geothermal flux ≈ 0.087 W/m². Referenced in ISO 80000-4. 1 W/m² = 1 J/(s·m²) = 10⁻³ kW/m².
